Hello Aspirant,

Yes, as an SC category student with 46 marks in AP EAMCET, you may be able to get a free (government quota) seat in Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) or its affiliated colleges depending on cutoff ranks, number of applicants in your category, and availability of seats in your category in counselling rounds, especially in not so popular branches. It's advisable to:

• Attend all counselling rounds
• Choose multiple college and branch options
• Check previous year cutoffs for SC category in SVU

Getting 46 marks in AP EAMCET and hoping for a free seat in Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) depends on several factors

1. Category Reservation:
   Since you belong to the SC category , you have a reservation benefit which significantly improves your chances compared to general category students.

2. Cut-off Trends:
   SVU is a top-tier university in Andhra Pradesh, so the cut-off marks for various branches (like CSE, ECE, etc.) can be high, even under reservation categories. For SC candidates, cut-offs are lower than general, but 46 marks is still on the lower side.

3. Counselling Round:
   You might not get a seat in top branches (like CSE or ECE ) in the first round , but you may have better chances in:

   • Less demanded branches (like Civil, Mechanical, or Metallurgy).

   • Later rounds or spot rounds .

4. Local vs Non-local status:
   If you're from the SVU region (Rayalaseema) , your chances are slightly better due to local quota reservation .
